Lyrics
I see the light begin to fade, Colors bleeding into gray. Shadows stretch across my mind, Like graves of all I left behind. Every heartbeat feels like stone, Every road leads me alone. I reach for something I can’t touch... A world that used to be enough. If I can’t kill this pain inside, Then let the daylight die. So drown it black, erase the dawn, Let every trace of color be gone. I don’t want red, I don’t want white... Turn the whole world into night. If I can’t bring the dead ones back, Then let it all burn, drown it black. Faces pass like broken glass, Fragments of a shattered past. I hear laughter from the days Before my heart was set ablaze. But joy feels like a foreign tongue, A song I knew when I was young. Now silence is my only prayer, And grief the cross I always wear. If peace won’t fill this hollow chest, Then darkness, do the rest. So drown it black, erase the dawn, Let every trace of color be gone. I don’t want red, I don’t want white... Turn the whole world into night. If I can’t bring the lost ones back, Then let it all burn, drown it black. No flowers on these graves, No prayers for the saved. Just empty skies and rain Washing out the stains. And if the sun should rise... I’ll tear it from the skies. Black the seas, black the air, Black the hope we used to share. Black the love, black the light, Black the pulse of fading life. Drown it black, erase the dawn, Let every final color be gone. I don’t want red, I don’t want white... Drown it in eternal night. If I can’t bring the dead ones back, Then let it all go... Drown it black. All I see is black.
